Getting Syria's children back to school in Lebanon

UK aid is supporting NGOs including Save the Children and UNICEF to provide catch-up education to thousands of Syria's children. Many of them have missed more than a year of school due to the conflict, and getting them back into education is crucial to preventing them becoming a lost generation.
